This study is a case study to investigate the effects of wiki-based collaborative learning perceived by adult learners of distance graduate education and their patterns of participation in the collaborative learning. In order to achieve this objective, the learners carried out a group project under the title “Activation Plan for CSCL in Online In-Service Teacher Training” using Wiki. The data was collected and analyzed from the observation on the learners’ activities, the learners’ messages on the Wiki websites, and a survey. The results showed overall low participation among the adult learners and their model of collaborative learning was limited to posting their findings and views without enough interactions for modifications such as feedback, discussion, and revision. In spite of limitations on collaborative knowledge construction from the lack of interactions among learners, the learners valued their experiences with the new technology, for example Wiki, appreciated sharing opinions, and an acknowledged an increased sense of belonging to the group. Lastly, based on the results, the causes of low participation among adult learners of distance education and future strategies to enhance their participation were discussed.
